For some reason, they are philosophically opposed to this most basic of functions, and the mere mention of the subject on their tech forums opens users up to criticism bordering on insult by their development team. My biggest problem with this program is the lack of real-time MIDI entry of parts. MuseScore 2.0 is in beta right now - the GUI will take a little getting used to, but it seems to be a very flexible and sophisticated piece of software. Despite a couple of XML irregularities, I found it to be surprisingly quick and easy for this work. Being retired, and with a budget that hardly covered the paper to print the parts, I tried the open-source MuseScore 1.3. Last year, I took on the task of orchestrating the piano score of a stage musical, created on Sibelius and exported as XML. I know others were quite proficient with it, but I had no love for the platform. I tried Finale for awhile, but never really accomplished much with it it almost felt like I was in an old-fashioned printing shop painstakingly selecting each print element and placing it on the page.

I could still create parts if I really needed to, but it seemed that my creative juices were going into navigating the software rather than composing new music. Unfortunately, our tech support dropped Atari, so I tried early versions of Sibelius on both Mac and PC, and my creative output dropped once again to almost nil.

I found that I could create a score in little more time than it would take me to play the individual parts on a keyboard. The developers at Atari placed MIDI functionality VERY high among their priorities, and the necessity of fitting the entire program on a 720k floppy disk (!) meant that there were few unnecessary frills beyond those tools that were most useful to composers. In short, Notator was a composer’s dream. Next, I used C-Lab’s Notator on the Atari platform, and was amazed at how well the program worked. Jim’s untimely death created a large gap in music development for the PC platform, so like many others, I left the Intel-based programs for the more reliable architecture of the Motorola 68000 core. Under Jim’s capable hand the home computer became a useful, if clunky tool, and I still have several compositions in my library that were created on his software. For the remainder of the decade, I used the late Jim Miller’s Personal Composer on MS-DOS machines. I accomplished far more working with pencil and paper at the kitchen table while my wife taught piano in our tiny apartment.

The functions were so limited, and the interface so cumbersome, that I composed next to nothing for a full two years.
